    my sleep pattern! Awake till 3 last night, now waking...

    I just ordered a sandwich in the local bakery, and I was asked if I was having it there or to takeaway . I replied "To go, please" I am off home now to insert some needle under my fingernails.

    On the plus side, as I was leaving the sandwich shop, I saw a man do that trip,stumble and pretend to start running thing. I enjoyed that.

    Had that same problem with one of my dogs. I moved him on to Skinners dry food, it's a good quality food and not as expensive as some of the better known brands. €35 - €45 for 15 kg. you don't need to feed as much and even less to pick up from the garden. But I know what you mean, as soon as I throw him a couple of sausages or left over meat......its windows open. :)

    It's a bit of an Americanism. I personally have no problem with it but some people are opposed to sounding even vaguely like an American.

    Because I said "To go". Exactly the sort of thing I would give out about if I was standing behind someone else who said it:)

    Unless of course, I was in a deli in New York

    Ah, I see! I'm definitely guilty of using that one a few times.

    TA today is that it's only Tuesday and I have to do some exercise before stuffing my face with pancakes.

    Gravy it seems is bad for a dog, one of them things you shouldn't give a dog, like chocolate, then it goes and eats it's own poop, who (human) decides whats good or bad for a dog?? my old (dead now) used to take carrots out of her bowl and drop them beside it, she told US what she didn't like.

    Bit of a scratchy throat, definitely feel a cold coming on, so I decide I should have a Lemsip. Rummage around in the office's First Aid kit and find the very last one stuck in the corner, excellent. Throw the kettle on, empty the sachet into a cup and wander away to do something else.

    Come back once it has boiled, and out of the sheer force of habit of a tea-drinker I throw a teabag into the cup. In goes the boiling water...and I'm now drinking tea-flavoured Lemsip. It's exactly as gank as you would expect.

    I would not mind an ice cream now to be honest. It would warm me up. :(

    People who start sentences with "So", bad enough when it's spoken sentences, but I was reading a few threads here and they also start with "So" and all the replies started with "So" too,
    So we had this installed...,
    So I've just checked...
    Where is this annoying phenomenon coming from?? It just sounds fake, or when its spoken it sounds like a rehearsed answer.

    I often start my sentences with ''So'' and it's fairly common in Cork, I often do it when I'm writing a post online too, I don't even think of it to be honest.

    Yeh I got into the habit after a few years in cork, it does seem to be a thing there. It's not as annoying as the "insert like into every sentence" thing they do though, that one took a while to get my head round (like)!
